CLEVELAND defeated the BaIlimor
base ball club 70 g. rchange
We wonder what the President is
doing running around the country
playing base ball-and what he
means by beating the Baltimores.
Now Maryland is a Cleveland State,
and if the President beats her pet
club it is likely the electoral vote
will go against him next year. The
President ought to know bitter than
to do such thing as this; besides
it is undignified in a man occupy
ing such an exalted position TO be
exhibiting himself in this way. We
trust he Will give up the game.
The Baltimores must have played
off. for we think under ordinary
circumstances the full nine can
beat almost any one individual. Yes,
that accounts for it. The Balti-
mores wouldn't beat the President
though it seems they have treated
a great many others with equal con-
sideration. Well this is one good
thing about the Baltimores any
ow,-they are considerable.

b. 4 0. RAILROAD Matters
The selling out of the Baltimore
and Ohio Express seems to indicate
that Mr.. Garrett has been trying to
boom gas stocks and has gotten
himself in a tight place. Not salts
fed with the earnings accruing from
one of the most gigantic corpora
tions in the country, which when it
had the power was as much mo-
nopoly as it could be, he goes into
the gas companies of Baltimore to
consolidate and boom them. 1t
seems Mr.. Garrett is not a great
success at consolidation. When he
had his option on the P. w. & B.
r. r., he somehow gave it away land
the Pennsylvania Railroad stepped
in and took the wind out of his
sails. Thanks to trunk line arrange
ments aud an interstate commits
sion, we have little to fear if the
railroad is sold, but as matter of
pride we would have been pleased to
think of the B. & o. as a Maryland
corporation rather than New York
one.

A gentleman from California
called at the Record office the other
day aud told the writer that he had
discovered way to get rid of the
surplus and to keep the Democratic
party permanently in power. Said
he: Advocate in your paper the
payment to the farmers of the coun-
try Of a subsidy on every bushel of
wheat and corn they raise. They
have been paying the money for fif-
ty wears to subsidize other interests.
The overplus in the Treasury of
right belongs to them. 1t has been
taken out of their pockets without
even the excuse of necessity to pay
debt or meet current expenditure.
On that platform you can sweep the
country"
As far as equity goes our friend
was perfectly right. The surplus in
the Treasury does, indeed, belong
to the farmers.
The bloodsuckers who menda-
ciously insist that farmers are pro-
tected should not object to subsi-
dizing them. But they are not hon.
est. They know the farmers are not
protected, but skinned. And they
win protract the SHINING process
as long as possible. philadelphia

RILEY'S HISTORY OF ANNAPOLIS.
The CAPITAL had the pleasure to-
day, Of receiving from the author a
copy of Riley's History of Annapo-
lis. or as it is named "The Ancient
CITY," The work is too voluminous
to make an extended review of it in
so short time, but from a cursory
glance we regard it as book that
will be both instructive and pleasant
not only to the good people OF An
napolis, but to those of the entire
State. The author does not indulge
in dissertation to any considerable ex-
tent, but gives what its name i'm
plies "History of Annapols." 1t is
replete with all the little incidents
of our early settlement and is in
every sense very valuable book.
We commend the work to our
citizens, and, congratulatlng the au-
thor on the great research displayed
in the compilation of it, wish him
the success that his enterprise mer-
its. For chronological data, the
book furnishes u first-class Vade me-
cum for Maryland editors sane
tum, as it gives in simple form much
valuable information.
